CPD

Lecture Overview
Many nurses may feel a shared sense of frustration that despite all the health education provided, some patients still resist taking our advice and making changes to their health. Are we going about health promotion the wrong way? This session looks at how to provide non-judgemental care and incorporate motivational-interviewing to get buy-in from even your most stubborn of clients.
